Bound by Guilt

Roxi Gold feels like a throwaway. Shuttled from one foster home to another for most of her life, she longs for a real family and a place to call home. She'll do anything to fit in and please her new guardian - even if it's against the law. Soon she's traveling the country in an RV stealing rare books from unsuspecting bookstores even as guilt hounds her.

Police officer Abby Dawson has witnessed the worst of society, and not just at work. Her high-powered attorney ex-husband has wrested her daughter away from her in a bitter custody battle, and she's lucky if she sees her daughter at all. The job she once loved has become a chore, the world isn't any safer, and her life seems to have no purpose.

One fateful night a botched robbery changes both Abby's and Roxi's lives forever. While Abby searches for justice, Roxi finds herself on the run in the small town of Elk Valley, Colorado. Will the power of forgiveness set them free, or will they both remain bound by guilt?
